Okay…so 7 pounds gone in the last month.  This next month I have to see more..but I am more on track with dieting and excercising.  The first couple of weeks that I started where just about cleaning things up and getting back into a workout routine.  I can do up one of my fav capri pants for summer..but still to tight to wear : (  SOON  Love seeing my ab definition coming back!

I didn’t eat enough yesterday(which is rare), just one of those days that I was on the run unexpectedly and didn’t plan…I stuck to the no eating after 6 p.m. and I was hungry…I just kept thinking tonight was my cheat night and it got me through!

heading out for my cardio day.  45 min…going to mix it up this morning for a change.  did my cardio the other day with an outside run.  Today, going to the the gym, 15min bike, 15min elliptical, 15 min run…yeah!

See ya laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Workouts are going great…eating is good….weight loss is happening, although not as fast as I would like(Is it ever as fast as we like though??)  I’m noticing the change in my body through muscle definition starting to show again and my clothes fitting better.  I am in this for the long haul this time.  It really helps that I have to report in all my food and workouts to my personal trainer through email and she PICKS it apart..lol.  She’s strict, but it is what I need.  I’m really feeling positive about my goals and not doubting myself as much.  I’m feeling the rise in myself that will carry me through this.

Heading out for a run this a.m.  It’s absolutely beautiful out.  I was surprised to see the sun as it rain so hard in the night and thundered(pretty near jumped out a bed at one bang)lol.

I am going to get some digestive enzymes today to see if it helps me with less bloat after eating.  A Dr. on oprah mentioned taking this before meals if you experience frequent bloat.  I think I do have food sensitivities now, but this feeling bloated alot is really annoying.  I know I need to cut out the salt and this will probably help too..but that has to be done slowly…I love my salt!

I rec’d my first 4 week program from my trainer.  So today was day two and it was legs.  They were rubbery when I was done, so I knew I worked them good.  She has me on the stepper(warm up) for leg day…*I am not a fan of the stepper*, but I can feel it working the legs and it’s good cardio…I guess,lol.

I am supposed to keep my calorie intake between 1600-1800 cals…keeping it around the 60,30,10 ratio.  I’ll have to play around with my food until I figure that one out.  I have started logging my food into fitday and it shows me what the ratios are.

I am hoping to get good results from this!!

I didn’t sleep well last night and the thought crossed my times many times after the alarm went off to just go back to sleep and maybe go later.  Yeah, well the maybe would have turned into not going and I knew it. so I dragged my butt out of bed and went!  Not alot of energy but worked my pecs good, abs and HIIT….done!

I am hoping to get my program soon from my trainer….can’t wait!

good news..I can walk down the stairs forward today instead of back wards.  that’s how sore my quads were yesterday…owwww.  they are still a bit sore but not as bad.

Right out the door this am and hit the gym for back and shoulders, 15 min HIIT(love the sweat from these)! Stretching.

I was approached by the owner to run a bootcamp with another girl from the gym.  I am so excited, this is what I want to do in the future once I have all my certifications.  fun fun 

Woke up this morning with super sore arms…..back to the gym yesterday after being away for a while and hit bis and tris, punishing them for their absence..lol. 

Warmed up 5mins in treadmill.

Then right over to chin up bar and did four rounds of 1 chin up(yes one,lol)..I would jump up into it and hold and easy down on the negative.  Then 30 air squats.  Quads are feeling that this morning. Then it was bis and tris, 15 min running intervals(2 min easy,1min hard).  I was a good sweaty mess…finished off with abs and stretching.

today I have to attempt Storms crossfit workout…..lord help me!!

okay..so I did it..modified though! and took me longer than Storm : D

50 situps (full)

25 double unders(have to learn these before next attempt) only did half do to whipping myself and fumbling,lol.

50 situps

50 walking lunges

50 situps

25 burpees(that was enough for me!)

50 situps

Took me 20 mins..laughed when I saw my time…super storm did it in 9 min and didn’t whimp out on numbers!!

Then came in and did step aerobics for 20 min..I am supposed to be practicing this for my evaluation for Group fitness leader…so good workout over all.  Back to the gym tomorrow!! : )
